One of the town’s hearing clinics officially opened its new location last week.
Hearing Life opened its permanent location at 83 Sandwich St. S., in the Sobeys plaza between Stacked and Firehouse Subs, in August but the official ribbon cutting was held last Thursday morning.
Matthew MacInnis, the business expansion manager for Hearing Life, pointed out the company was in Amherstburg previously but the support they received necessitated a permanent location.
“We had a satellite office for a number of years,” said MacInnis.
The satellite office was located in the Amherstburg Community Hub at 320 Richmond St. They started several years ago seeking a permanent location, were delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic, then were able to gain traction post-pandemic and finally found the right location for them.
“We were able to get the right people in place and found this location,” MacInnis added.
Keely Wright and Bronwyn Zorian will be the staff members primarily helping patients at the Amherstburg location.
Everything from baseline assessments to hearing aids and more are offered there, with MacInnis touting the importance of hearing health.
“We’re really proud to be part of this community,” he said.
Mayor Michael Prue not only cut the ribbon, but took part in a hearing test as well.
“Thank you for choosing Amherstburg,” he told MacInnis, Zorian, Wright and other company representatives.
There is an older population in Amherstburg, said Prue, and that people are choosing the town to retire in. He said such businesses and services as Hearing Life are helpful to have.
“It’s important to have such a facility,” said Prue.
Prue added “we think the town is booming” and businesses like Hearing Life contribute to the town’s livability.
